Andrea Kuzmich’s songSCAPIN’ (Southern Cross)

“Andrea Kuzmich’s songSCAPIN’ flips the script with genre-bending re-imaginings of the rarely heard folk polyphony of Georgia and Ukraine. Teaming up with some of Toronto’s finest creative musicians, Andrea Kuzmich (voice/guitar) weaves over 20 years of experience in traditional polyphony with jazz and raw improvisation to create an irresistible, groove-driven experience. But don’t expect to simply sit back and listen: in true folk fashion, you — the audience — will be expected to join and become an essential celebratory force within the performance.
